Description

With an abundance of lyricism and insight, Steven Meyers writes about the natural history and sporting opportunities found on his home river, the San Juan of New Mexico. Rising out of southern Colorado's majestic San Juan Mountains and flowing through the arid hardscrabble of the Southwest, the San Juan has garnered a devoted following of fly fishers. This classic tailwater fishery is renowned around the world for easy access and trophy-sized trout. But with fame comes a cost, and the river is now host to a carnival of crowds, poachers, and crass trophy seekers. Meyers mourns the loss of solitude while celebrating his own ways of seeking solace on a river known only superficially by most who fish its hallowed pools and riffles.

REVIEW:
“The Southwest’s best trout-fishing writer . . . weighs in with another collection of fine essays. I’ll read Steve Meyers as long as he writes.”
—Stephen J. Bodio (from a review in Fly Rod & Reel)

San Juan River Chronicle, like the stream it describes, is rich with life—trout and insects, fishermen and guides, and above all the deep and indispensible sustenance drawn from the company of friends. What emerges is an intricate mosaic of place, assembled with clarity, sympathy, and an unflinching eye. Steve Meyers has given the San Juan what every trout stream needs—a voice of appreciation and advocacy.”
—Ted Leeson (author)

“I’ve just finished reading San Juan River Chronicle. It’s very good. Every trout stream should have a friend as eloquent . . . . It’s refreshing to read; I felt like I was involved in a spirited conversation with a friend.” —Slaton L. White (Deputy Editor, Field & Stream)
